Chapter 106 Pissing Kaecilius Off to Death! The Power of the Crimson Contract Chains Soars!
Kaecilius looked at the Space Blade in his hand, which had been split in two by a single sword strike, and completely fell into self-doubt.
In order to obtain this power, he had paid an extremely painful price!
He had sold his soul to Dormammu and turned half of his body into disgusting dark matter.
He had abandoned all human dignity and was lingering on his last breath like a dog in the Dark Dimension.
What he got in return should have been invincible power enough to crush everything!
But what about now?
His proud trump card had actually been cut off like chopping vegetables by an apprentice he used to look down upon completely?!
How is this possible!
"I don't believe it!"
"By what right can you block the power of the Dark Dimension!"
"I don't accept this result!"
Kaecilius roared hysterically like a gambler who had lost all his chips.
As his emotions completely spiraled out of control,
the disgusting black aura on his body began to churn and spread wildly!
Originally, only the left half of his body was black.
But now, that layer of viscous dark matter rapidly crawled all over his entire body, just like a living parasite.
In the blink of an eye,
Kaecilius completely turned into a pitch-black monster with only a vague humanoid outline, and even his facial features could no longer be seen clearly.
Standing in the distance, Ancient One saw this scene, and her expression instantly turned solemn.
"Rayne, be careful."
"This madman has completely abandoned his human identity."
Ancient One spoke out to remind him.
She knew very well what this meant. Kaecilius was completely opening up his body and mind, letting Dormammu's will descend.
The current him could no longer be considered an independent mage, but had become a terrifying projection of Dormammu in the physical dimension!
"Today, both of you must die here!"
"I am going to pull out your souls and howl in the darkness forever!"
The completely blackened Kaecilius let out an inhuman roar.
He suddenly pulled outward with both hands,
and two black sharp blades, deeper and more solid than before, appeared in his hands once again.
These two blades were so black that they seemed to swallow all the surrounding light, emitting an extremely pure aura of Death.
Swoosh!
Kaecilius turned into a streak of black lightning and lunged straight at Rayne.
His speed was twice as fast as before!
Rayne's eyes narrowed, and he immediately raised the amethyst longsword in his hand to counterattack.
Clang!
The two swords clashed.
The piercing sound of metal scraping seemed to pierce people's eardrums.
Kaecilius was like an untiring killing machine, waving the black sharp blades in his hands and turning them into countless blade shadows, crazily pouring firepower onto Rayne.
Rayne did not give an inch, and the amethyst longsword in his hand danced so fast that not a drop of water could leak through.
"Ding!"
"[Sword of Vishanti] is enduring extremely thick erosion from dark power!"
"[Sword of Vishanti] feels extreme disdain for this inferior dark matter!"
"[Sword of Vishanti] issues a taunt: Is this it? Didn't Dormammu eat, why is it so soft and limp!"
Listening to the system prompt in his mind,
the corners of Rayne's mouth twitched directly.
This damn skill really maxed out its taunt attribute; it even dared to flame the ruler of the Dark Dimension!
However, scolding aside, the power of this sword was truly unquestionable. Under Kaecilius's storm-like attacks, Rayne handled things with ease.
Not far away, Ancient One watched the figures of the two fiercely clashing, her heart filled with astonishment.
This brat Rayne...
was actually able to fight back and forth evenly with Dormammu's projection?!
You must know that Kaecilius's current strength was more than a tier stronger than before!
"How on earth did this little monster cultivate?"
Ancient One shook her head slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She had originally prepared to step in and save the day at any time, but now it seemed she was completely overthinking it.
On the other side, the battle continued.
The more Kaecilius fought, the more alarmed he became.
He now had Dormammu to back him up, and his internal magic power could be said to be endless!
He originally thought that relying on this high-intensity war of attrition, he could easily drag Rayne to Death.
However,
how was this brat Rayne acting like nothing was wrong?!
Not only was there no sign of fatigue, but he even became more spirited the more he fought!
"You damn ant!"
"You can't possibly win against me! I represent the endless darkness!"
"Soon, you will become the mud beneath my feet!"
While attacking frantically, Kaecilius was still shouting loudly, trying to psychologically overwhelm Rayne.
Just at this moment,
Rayne suddenly retreated half a step backward.
"Wait!"
Rayne suddenly shouted loudly, raised one hand, and made a pausing motion.
Kaecilius was stunned for a moment.
The attack in his hand subconsciously stopped.
He looked at Rayne alertly.
What does this brat want to do?
Could it be that he wants to beg for mercy? Or is he preparing to unleash some world-destroying ultimate move?
Kaecilius treated it as a formidable enemy, even quietly condensing a thick dark shield in front of him.
However,
Rayne merely reached out and scratched his back.
"Sorry."
"I got bitten by a mosquito just now, my back was a bit itchy, so I scratched it."
Rayne explained with a serious face.
Kaecilius: "..."
"What the hell!"
Kaecilius felt like his lungs were about to explode from anger!
I am here fighting for my life with you! I even sold my soul just to kill you!
And you're telling me your back is itchy?!
Also! This is an extra-dimensional space! Where the hell did a mosquito come from?!
Kaecilius only felt a surge of hot blood rush straight to his brain. If he still had human blood vessels right now, he probably would have burst a blood vessel long ago.
This was simply a blatant humiliation to him!
"Ding!"
"[Crimson Contract Chains] witnessed the host's heaven-defying operation!"
"[Crimson Contract Chains] thinks the host is truly a comedic genius!"
"[Crimson Contract Chains] was amused to hysterical laughter by the host, causing the magic power operation to accelerate!"
"Skill is in a great mood! Power temporarily soars!"
Hearing the system prompt,
even Rayne himself was stunned for a moment.
Damn, this works too?
Chatting casually can actually trigger a temporary surge in skill power?
The judgment mechanism of this system is too bizarre!
Since the skill exerted power, Rayne wouldn't be polite anymore.
He casually dismissed the amethyst longsword in his hand.
"Hahaha!"
"Rayne! Have you finally given up resisting and are ready to wait for Death?"
"In that case, obediently become nourishment for Dormammu!"
Seeing Rayne dismiss his weapon, Kaecilius thought his magic power was exhausted, and immediately roared with ecstasy.
"Old Ka."
Rayne looked at the charred piece of coal in front of him who was as excited as an idiot.
"With your IQ, you are really not suited to be a villain."
"I suggest you eat more walnuts to nourish your brain."
Rayne ruthlessly taunted.
"You're courting Death!"
Kaecilius was completely enraged, raising his dual blades to lunge forward once again.
Just at this moment,
without warning, over a hundred extremely thick crimson magic chains burst out from behind Rayne!
These chains emitted a heart-palpitating red glow, like over a hundred wildly dancing giant pythons, heading straight to meet Kaecilius!
Kaecilius was greatly alarmed in his heart, and immediately pushed the dark shield in front of him to the very front.
Pchitt!
However,
accompanied by an extremely crisp cracking sound,
that dark shield which had blocked Rayne's attack last time,
in front of these Crimson Chains that had obtained a massive surge in power, was pierced through instantly like a piece of thin paper!
"This is impossible!"
Kaecilius let out a terrified scream.
He frantically waved the black sharp blades in his hands, trying to cut off these blood-colored chains wrapping around him.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Chains and sharp blades collided crazily.
Kaecilius's arms were shaken numb, and even his semi-energized body was constantly trembling from this powerful impact!
He looked at these Crimson Chains in horror and despair.
What on earth is this magic!
It looks like Kamar-Taj's "Crimson Chains", but how can the power be so outrageous!
Normal Crimson Chains were just an energy body used to bind enemies.
Yet the things Rayne released were not only as hard as high-strength alloy, but also carried extremely terrifying physical penetration!
Even the weapons blessed by Dormammu's power clearly fell behind in the collision!
At this moment, Kaecilius had only one thought left in his heart.
What kind of monster is this Rayne!
Even a basic magic passed down for hundreds of years could be modified by him into such a world-destroying killing machine!
This unheard-of talent...
the jealousy in Kaecilius's heart had even surpassed his hatred for Rayne.
By what right!
By what right could this brat possess such a perverted talent! While he himself had to rely on selling his soul to exchange for power!
Today, he must crush this genius to Death here completely!
Chapter 107: Tenfold Increase in Power! The Chaos OrbShows Its Might Once Again! Inside the Mirror Dimension.
Ryan did not continue to defend, but instead chose to take the initiative.
Over a hundred crimson magic chains behind him poured wildly toward Kaecilius like a violent storm.
Clang, clang, clang!
Kaecilius was forced to retreat step by step, the black Space Blade in his hands whipping up afterimages as he desperately parried the blood-red chains thrusting at him from all directions.
However, Ryan's attacks were simply too dense.
Furthermore, these Crimson Chains that had received a power-boosting buff were not only as hard as titanium alloy, but they also carried extremely terrifying physical penetration and divine power cutting.
Pfft! Pfft!
Several scalp-numbing, muffled thuds sounded.
Kaecilius's defense eventually developed a breach.
Several sharp blood-red chains mercilessly pierced his body, leaving several transparent holes in him.
Ancient One, standing not far away to watch the battle, looked at this scene.
The ribs of the folding fan she had been clutching in her hand were almost crushed by her.
Several clear cracks had already appeared on the wooden fan handle.
Ancient One took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the shock in her heart.
Although this wasn't the first time she had watched Ryan fight.
But every time, Ryan was able to bring her a completely new brand of "fright".
Turning an auxiliary magic used for binding people into the physical piercing effect of heavy machine gun strafing.
This outrageous operation completely subverted Kamar-Taj's magic theories of several hundred years.
Ancient One looked at Ryan, who was displaying such formidable might, and shook her head somewhat helplessly.
Compared to a freak who didn't reason at all like this.
She suddenly felt that her several hundred years of magiccultivation had truly been in vain, and that she was indeed getting old.
However.
Under Ryan's such violent attacks.
Kaecilius, who had been stabbed through with several holes, acted as if nothing had happened.
To be precise.
He didn't care about how severe his injuries were at all!
Because the transparent holes Ryan had just left on his body.
The next second.
Accompanied by an extremely dense surge of black energy pouring in from the void.
The viscous dark matter on his body writhed wildly as if it had a life of its own.
In the blink of an eye, those wounds completely healed, leaving not even a trace of a scar!
Even the crimson divine power attached to the wounds was forcibly swallowed and assimilated by this massive dark energy!
Not only was Kaecilius uninjured, but he had instead become even more spirited!
"Hahaha!"
"Ryan! Did you see that!"
"This is the power bestowed upon me by Lord Dormammu! I am immortal!"
"Your attacks cannot hurt me by even a fraction!"
"And your magic power will eventually be exhausted one day!"
"Obediently wait for Death! Or embrace the great Dark Dimension together with me!"
Kaecilius completely ignored Ryan's attacks and laughed wildly and unbridledly.
Ryan looked at the pitch-black charcoal head before him who had fallen into madness, and curled his lips in disgust.
This guy was definitely brainwashed by the dark energy; his brain was completely broken.
Refusing to be a proper Earth mage and insisting on acting like a dog for a monster from an alien dimension.
What kind of good thing was Dormammu?
He was a super tyrant who devoured Planets everywhere.
Selling one's soul to such a thing was purely a brain-dead behavior.
However, Ryan also had to admit.
The current Kaecilius was indeed like a piece of dog-skin plaster, extremely tricky.
This kind of recovery ability, which was close to true immortality, was shameless to the extreme.
Even if Ancient One or Odin were standing here right now, facing this kind of energy-bodied monster with dual immunity to physical and magic, they would probably have a headache for half a day.
Because Kaecilius's true body was no longer human flesh and blood.
He was now a vessel composed of pure dark energy.
As long as Dormammu was still secretly "charging" him and providing a steady stream of dark energy support.
Before these dark energies were instantly and thoroughly annihilated, Kaecilius was absolutely unkillable!
And as the ruler of the Dark Dimension, Dormammu's energy reserves were almost equivalent to the entire Universe!
Even Ancient One only dared to rely on the barriers of the Three Sanctums and the Time Stone on Earth to barely resist Dormammu's invasion.
If she really entered the Dark Dimension, Ancient Onewould also have to kneel.
Wanting to completely kill the current Kaecilius.
Conventional methods simply wouldn't work.
Just as Ryan was frowning and calculating what ultimate move to use to wipe the ground.
"Ding!"
"Your [ Chaos Orb ] has keenly captured the extremely pure dark energy surrounding you!"
"[ Chaos Orb ] has activated the berserk star-absorbing technique mode, frantically devouring dark energy!"
"Ding!"
"[ Chaos Orb ] devouring successful! Triggered super evolution!"
"[ Chaos Orb ] base power permanently increased by tenfold!"
"[ Chaos Orb ] has unlocked the infinite evolution route: Every time a high-order energy is devoured, the power will gain a massive stack!"
Listening to the electronic voice in his mind.
Ryan's eyes lit up instantly, and he almost couldn't help laughing out loud directly.
The system was simply too awesome!
It really was sending a pillow right when he was getting sleepy.
Last time Kaecilius had his body shattered on one side by this move; today, it was just right to let him relive the nightmare of back then!
On the other side.
Kaecilius watched Ryan standing in place without moving, thinking that Ryan had exhausted his tricks.
"What? Out of magic power, right?"
"After casting so many ultimate moves just now, you probably don't even have the strength to raise your hand now!"
Kaecilius laughed triumphantly.
He simply couldn't be bothered to defend anymore.
He let the several Crimson Chains behind Ryan hack him into several sections.
Then.
The black energy on his body wriggled once more, and the chopped-up body instantly pieced itself back together, as good as new.
"Give up struggling!"
"You simply cannot understand the greatness of Dormammu's power!"
Kaecilius clamored frantically while carrying the black sharp blade, walking toward Ryan with large strides.
Ryan looked at him without speaking.
He only slowly raised his right hand.
Palm facing upward.
Hum! Hum! Hum!
Three Chaos energy balls of different colors, emitting extremely terrifying energy fluctuations, slowly condensed and formed above his palm.
"Old Ka."
Ryan looked at Kaecilius, the corners of his mouth raising into a demonic smile.
"Which of these three orbs do you want?"
The moment Kaecilius saw these three small orbs.
His footsteps suddenly paused.
His originally arrogant aura instantly vanished into thin air, and his body actually trembled uncontrollably.
A few years ago.
He was blasted into a paralyzed cripple by this exact thing!
That pain penetrating deep into his soul was something he would never forget in this lifetime.
This was a fear carved into his DNA!
"It... it's useless!"
Kaecilius forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart and roared with a fierce expression: "That level of attack is completely ineffective against this body of mine right now!"
After finishing, as if to cover up his guilty conscience, he abruptly raised his blade and charged up once again.
"Since you won't choose, then I'll just throw one casually!"
Ryan didn't stand on ceremony at all, flicking his wrist.
Directly smashing one of the Chaos Orbs fiercely toward Kaecilius's face.
After throwing it.
Ryan didn't say another word, directly ripping open a Portal, diving headfirst into it, and running faster than a rabbit.
Ancient One not far away saw Ryan's posture.
Her eyelids twitched wildly.
Without any hesitation, she immediately formed hand seals with both hands, instantly deploying dozens of layers of the sturdiest magic defense barriers in front of herself.
The next second.
Boom!!!
That seemingly unassuming Chaos Orb exploded roarfully in front of Kaecilius!
A grayish chaos light that seemed capable of devouring everything instantly erupted!
This gray light took the explosion point as its center and spread wildly in all directions.
Everywhere it passed along the way.
Whether it was space barriers or magic remnants, they were all instantly swallowed by this gray light, turning into nothingness!
Kaecilius watched this gray energy storm, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.
Holy crap!
Is this f*cking the same magic from back then?!
This power was more than ten times stronger than back then!
An extremely strong early warning of Death instantly enveloped Kaecilius's entire body.
He instinctively turned around and wanted to run.
But.
The expansion speed of this gray light was simply too fast!
So fast that Kaecilius simply didn't have time to tear open a space rift.
In merely the span of a blink.
The gray storm had already completely swallowed him.
"No! This is impossible!"
"Only a few years have passed! By what right are you able to become strong to this extent!"
Kaecilius let out a despairing miserable scream within the gray storm.
He was unwilling!
He had paid the price of half his soul and endured inhuman torture just to exchange for Dormammu's power.
Why!
Why was he still unable to beat this monster who didn't reason at all!
Why was the power he had traded his life for actually not even improving as much as the other party's casual cultivation of a few years?
Is there any justice left in this f*cking world!
Amidst Kaecilius's despairing roaring sounds.
The gray Chaos energy began to ruthlessly decompose the dark matter on his body.
His proud "immortal body" was simply a joke in front of this pure destructive power.
Dormammu was indeed frantically transmitting dark energy to him, attempting to keep this chess piece.
But.
The input speed simply could not compare to the decomposition speed of the Chaos energy!
With a boom!
The storm all over the sky descended, directly tearing Kaecilius to shreds within it!
Chapter 108: Spatial Exile! Confronting the Dark Lord Dormammu!
The gray storm finally dissipated.
This dilapidated alternate space left behind by an ancient powerhouse looked as though it had been plowed countless times by a super bulldozer.
It was truly scraped three feet deep!
The originally rugged ground, weird rocks, and even the dimensional weeds at the edge of space had all completely vanished.
The entire space was left with only a flat and empty wasteland, as clean as a blank sheet of White paper.
"Cough, cough..."
After a long while.
A faint golden light lit up in the center of the wasteland.
Ancient One walked out from behind several layers of shattered magic shields looking disheveled.
At this moment, the Sorcerer Supreme had not a shred of her usual elegance and composure left.
Her plain White mage robe was blown to shreds, and her face was covered in dust, making her look like a refugee who had just escaped from a coal mine.
Ancient One had no time to tidy her appearance; looking at the completely revamped Mirror World around her—where even the spatial barrier had been shaved thin by a layer—she couldn't help but gasp.
"Hiss..."
"What kind of perverted magic is this?!"
Ancient One was completely numb.
This looked very much like Kamar-Taj's Chaos Orb.
But this power... was simply Worlds apart!
The Chaos Orb she usually conjured up herself could at most blow up a building, yet Ryan tossed one out casually and directly scoured an alternate-dimensional space clean!
This kind of pure, irreversible destructive power was simply horrifying.
Even if one flipped through Kamar-Taj's thousands of years of magical ancient books, they would absolutely never find such an overbearing destruction magic.
Unconcealed shock flashed in Ancient One's eyes.
Today, she was truly shocked out of her composure by Ryan.
However, to maintain the Sorcerer Supreme's aloof image, Ancient One took a deep breath and quickly brushed her hands over her body.
A faint light flickered.
The tattered robe on her body instantly returned to normal, and the dust on her face was cleaned away completely, transforming her back into that transcendent EarthGuardian.
"Teacher, you still like to disguise yourself so much."
Suddenly, an extremely weak voice rang out across the empty venue.
Ancient One looked over following the voice.
In a depression not far away, a blurry Shadow was actually still writhing.
That was Kaecilius!
In the destructive storm just now, he had unexpectedly not been completely obliterated!
However, his condition at this moment was also disastrous to behold.
His body, originally enveloped by dark energy, had been decomposed by the gray light until less than a third of his left torso remained, like a charred piece of charcoal, barely maintaining a human shape.
He was still breathing tenaciously, but those extremely weak vital signs indicated that he was not far from Death.
"You certainly have a tough life, not dying completely even like this."
Ancient One looked at the lingering traitor on the ground, her tone icy cold without a shred of pity.
"Hehe..."
"Ancient One, you have taught an extraordinary monster."
Kaecilius stared fixedly at Ancient One with his only remaining eye, his voice so weak as if he would stop breathing at any moment.
"It seems that even if I die, you still have someone to carry on your legacy."
"Pity, you won't have the chance to see it." Ancient Onesaid indifferently.
"That... might not be certain..."
On Kaecilius's tattered face, an extremely ferocious smile was actually squeezed out.
The meager dark energy remaining on his body suddenly began to fluctuate violently; this energy was unstable, gathering on his body like a deflating ball and then quickly dissipating.
"You are already at the end of your rope."
"For the sake of our past master-student relationship, I will personally send you on your way so you don't continue to suffer."
As Ancient One spoke, a golden magic blade slowly condensed in her hand.
"Ancient One, you are still so hypocritical and so disgusting."
Facing Death, Kaecilius showed not a shred of fear, instead laughing loudly.
"All day long you are full of benevolence and righteousness, teaching us to maintain the balance of nature and resist the temptation of the Dark Dimension."
"But what about yourself?!"
"You have always secretly drawn power from the dark space to maintain your long lifespan that defies the laws of nature!"
"You are the most shameless liar!"
Kaecilius's words were filled with resentment and unwillingness.
"I think you are the most ridiculous fool."
A crisp and cold voice came from above.
Kaecilius lifted his head with difficulty.
Ryan had returned through a Portal at some point, currently crossing his arms, floating in mid-air, and looking at him with the gaze of looking at an idiot.
"You simply don't understand what the Sorcerer Supremeshoulders."
Ryan mocked mercilessly.
"For a powerhouse of Ancient One's level, even without borrowing any external force, living for millions of years is an effortless matter."
"Look at Asgard's Odin, who fought wars his whole life and was covered in injuries, yet still lived for millions of years."
"The reason Ancient One extracts the power of the dark space is purely to resist the invasion of Earth by other dimensional demon gods! She is using her own soul as a price to exchange for Earth's peace!"
"And what about you?"
"Under the guise of seeking truth, you are actually just trying to resurrect your dead wife and child to satisfy your own ridiculous selfish desires. And now you still have the nerve to stand on the moral high ground and accuse others?"
"You are truly both stupid and evil."
Ryan's burst of output directly scolded Kaecilius into speechlessness.
A trace of panic and pain flashed in Kaecilius's only remaining eye, but he quickly covered it up with madness.
"Hehe..."
"Say whatever you want."
"Anyway... it's already too late."
Kaecilius let out a harsh laugh like a night owl, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance that his scheme had succeeded.
"Do you really think that I chose the battlefield in this collapsing alternate space just as a random place?"
Hearing these words,
Ryan and Ancient One's expressions changed simultaneously.
The two raised their hands almost at the same time, attempting to draw a Portal in the void.
Hum! Hum!
The two golden halos had just flickered once before extinguishing instantly, just like a light bulb whose power had been cut off.
"The spatial node has been completely sealed off."
"This is not an ordinary blockade; this alternate space... is being forcibly dragged out of the main Universe and plunged into the deep dimensional ocean."
Ancient One frowned tightly, instantly judging the current situation.
After all, Ancient One was a veteran player wandering the multiverse, seeing through the opponent's trick at a glance.
This kind of method to forcibly drag an entire alternate space into the deep dimensions could definitely not be accomplished by a half-baked person like Kaecilius.
The only possibility was that Dormammu had made a move personally!
"Sorcerer Supreme, this situation is a bit tricky. What do we do now?"
Ryan landed on the ground and asked.
This kind of situation of being forcibly exiled to the dimensional ocean was also the first time he had ever encountered it.
However, Ryan wasn't flustered at all.
If the sky fell, Ancient One would hold it up. Besides, he still held the Power Stone in his hand.
If they really drove him to desperation and he directly detonated the Power Stone, even Dormammu's true body coming over would have half its life blown away!
Ancient One looked at the increasingly dim space around her and didn't appear overly flustered, her gaze only becoming incomparably deep.
"No need to rush, we'll just wait here."
"The real master is about to arrive."
Ancient One said in a calm tone.
Sure enough.
Just at the moment Ancient One's voice fell,
Ryan felt that above the entire alternate space, a terrifying coercion so immense that it could not be described with language suddenly descended!
This coercion, carrying a suffocating aura of darkness and destruction, instantly filled every inch of air in this space.
Following closely,
The darkness in the sky began to writhe and distort crazily.
An incomparably huge face composed of pure dark energy slowly emerged in the sky!
This face was so huge that it even covered the firmament of the entire alternate space, overlooking the two people on the ground from high above, bringing people a sense of despair that struck straight at the soul.
"Ancient One!"
A huge roar as deep and hoarse as distant thunder came from that giant mouth in the sky, shaking the entire space so that it trembled violently.
Ryan raised his head, looking at that terrifying giant face that blotted out the sky.
"Sorcerer Supreme, is this Dormammu's true body?"
"This size is too exaggerated, right?" Ryan asked with a frown.
This sense of oppression was indeed much stronger than the ancient Ego the Living Planet that he had chopped into pieces just now!
"No, this doesn't even count as one ten-thousandth of his true body."
"Dormammu is naturally suspicious; he definitely wouldn't dare let his true body leave the Dark Dimension by even half a step."
"He is very clear that as long as he leaves his lair, I have countless ways to make him pay a painful price."
Ancient One stared coldly at the giant face in the sky.
"What appears before us now is merely a high-level divine power avatar condensed by him using dark energy."
Ancient One saw things very thoroughly.
In the Dark Dimension, Dormammu was indeed a near-invincible existence. Even if the five major creation gods of the Universe went in, they might not necessarily gain any advantage.
But on Earth or in other dimensions, Ancient One had plenty of means to deal with him. This was also the reason why Dormammu always only dared to send minions to infiltrate Earth and never dared to descend with his true body.
"Ancient One."
"You have hindered me for hundreds of years."
"But today is your doom."
"You shall fall in this forgotten dimensional corner! And the Earth you guard with your life will soon become a part of my Dark Dimension!"
Dormammu's huge avatar let out a deafening roar in the sky.
Ancient One tightened her grip on the folding fan in her hand, her face as heavy as water, standing in strict readiness.
Chapter 109: Single-handedly fight Dormammu! You kid have masochistic tendencies?
Dormammu.
The ruler of the Dark Dimension.
An ancient energy entity that had lived through countless years and even witnessed the birth and destruction of the Universe.
For so many years, like a greedy black hole, he had ruthlessly devoured Universe space after Universe space, accumulating unimaginable and terrifying power.
At this moment.
Although what descended into this different space was merely a divine power avatar condensed from his dark energy,
that abyss-like and suffocating sense of oppression still caused this space to tremble violently.
"Ryan, the situation is bad. Later, I will forcibly tear open a crack, do not look back, run immediately!"
Ancient One's expression was unprecedentedly solemn.
This was her first time facing Dormammu's projection directly outside of Earth.
Without the blessing of the defensive magic arrays of Earth's three Sanctums, even Ancient One did not have absolute certainty of winning this battle.
If things went poorly, she might really perish here.
Therefore, she had to protect Ryan first.
This young man was the future hope of Earth and must never be lost here.
"Sorcerer Supreme, please do not be nervous."
Ryan appeared very relaxed, and even comforted Ancient One: "Rest assured, he cannot do anything to us. I am carrying good things with me."
As for the Power Stone, Ryan carried it with him everywhere.
Back then, that brainless Ronan had relied on a single Power Stone to almost single-handedly flatten the entire Nova Empire.
Ryan considered his mastery of magic to be streets ahead of Ronan.
Now holding this kind of cosmic-grade cheat item in his hand, even if Dormammu's avatar was strong, if they couldn't beat him, blasting open a path to run was still effortless.
Hearing this, Ancient One froze for a moment.
"A treasure of this level... You actually carry it with you?"
The corner of Ancient One's mouth twitched slightly.
Things like the Infinity Stones would trigger cosmic wars wherever they were placed.
Past Sorcerer Supremes had always treated the Time Stone like an ancestor, enshrined in the deepest part of Kamar-Taj.
And look at Ryan, stuffing it in his pocket like a trinket?
"Is there any place safer than keeping it on me?" Ryan asked back with an innocent look.
Ancient One opened her mouth.
It seemed... to make sense.
With this kid's current strength, plus those freakish life-saving methods, looking across the entire Universe, there were really very few people who could snatch things from his hands.
Since Ryan had the Power Stone as a backup, Ancient One's originally hanging heart also relaxed.
With this thing around, even if they couldn't win, ensuring survival was definitely not a problem.
"Sorcerer Supreme."
Ryan suddenly turned his head, looking at Ancient One, a light of eager anticipation flashing in his eyes.
"I want to... try."
"Try what?" Ancient One was somewhat puzzled.
"I want to try single-handedly fighting Dormammu."
Ryan's tone was calm, just as if he were talking about wanting to eat a hot pot tonight.
Ancient One was directly dumbfounded.
Single-handedly fight Dormammu?!
Even if it was just a divine power avatar, that was still the ruler of the Dark Dimension!
Even she, who had been the Sorcerer Supreme for hundreds of years, could only barely force him back by utilizing the terrain advantage.
You, a greenhorn who had been studying magic for less than two years, actually want to fight Dormammu single-handedly?
Isn't this nerve a bit too big!
However, looking at Ryan's firm gaze, Ancient One did not voice any reprimand.
"If you insist."
Ancient One slowly stepped back and yielded her position: "Then I will guard your flank from the side. If you truly cannot hold on, retreat immediately, do not force it."
In fact, Ancient One was also extremely curious in her heart.
She wanted to see with her own eyes what kind of terrifying realm the strength of this monstrous disciple, who could always create miracles, had reached.
Obtaining Ancient One's permission,
Ryan turned around and faced the huge face covering the sky in the sky directly.
He had long wanted to experience how capable this famous dimensional demon god in the Marvel Universereally was.
"Ancient One!"
"Are you scared? Actually letting a milk-mouthed apprentice come to die?"
"What a pathetic struggle."
Dormammu's huge avatar let out a deafening mocking laugh in the sky.
"Pathetic?"
Ryan sneered and retorted unceremoniously,
"You old monster, having lived for so many years, did you only grow a big mouth?"
"To put it bluntly, you are just a coward who only dares to hide in the Dark Dimension like a turtle pulling its head in. If you really have the ability, why don't your true body come out and walk a few steps?"
As soon as Ryan said this,
not only was Dormammu stunned, even Ancient Onebehind him couldn't help but gasp a breath of cold air.
This kid's guts were truly huge!
How dare he point at Dormammu's nose and curse him as a turtle with its head tucked in?
"Mortal!"
Dormammu was poked at his sore spot and instantly became furious with embarrassment.
"How dare you speak to me in this tone?!"
"Even the Ancient One would not dare to be so presumptuous!"
Dormammu roared, his huge voice causing the entire different space to buzz.
"I will correct you on two points."
Ryan held up two fingers and said leisurely,
"First, the Sorcerer Supreme is not afraid to curse you; she has good upbringing and simply can't be bothered to deal with an unbred savage creature like you."
"Second..."
Ryan's gaze sharpened: "I am not here to die, I am here to beat you up!"
"Courting death!"
Dormammu completely went berserk.
The huge mouth in the sky suddenly opened wide.
Boom!
A black light pillar, tens of meters thick and composed of extremely pure dark energy, like a waterfall from the nine heavens, carrying a terrifying majesty capable of destroying heaven and Earth, fiercely bombarded down toward Ryan!
"Damn it, this old immortal doesn't talk about martial ethics! He attacks as soon as he speaks!"
Ryan cursed,
yet his reaction was not slow at all.
He pushed his hands upwards fiercely.
"Shield of the Seraphim!"
Hum!
A huge shield radiating dazzling golden light instantly condensed and formed above Ryan's head, protecting his entire body tightly underneath.
Rumble!
The black pillar of destruction smashed fiercely onto the Shield of the Seraphim.
For a moment, golden light and black Qi crazily clashed, the piercing sound of energy friction making one's scalp tingle.
Ryan frowned slightly.
He could feel that his proud Shield of the Seraphimactually began to show a trace of tremor under the continuous bombardment of this black light pillar!
Good fellow!
This was one of the strongest single-target defense magicspells he currently mastered!
As expected of the ruler of the Dark Dimension. Merely an energy beam casually spat out by his avatar could shake the Shield of the Seraphim. This power was indeed not to be underestimated.
Just as Ryan was preparing to continue pouring magicpower into the shield,
in his mind, the crisp electronic sound of the system suddenly rang out.
"Ding!"
"[Deified Shield of the Seraphim] has suffered unprecedented high-dimensional energy oppression!"
"The potential of [Deified Shield of the Seraphim] has been completely stimulated!"
"Ding!"
"[Deified Shield of the Seraphim] has triggered a hidden evolution branch: Devour and Nurture!"
"Your shield will automatically devour the opponent's attacking energy and convert it into pure origin magicpower, feeding it back to the host!"
As soon as the system prompt ended,
Ryan felt that the golden-red shield above his head, which was still trembling slightly just a moment ago, suddenly turned into a huge vacuum cleaner.
The black light pillar bombarding the shield not only could no longer cause any damage, but instead was crazily devoured into the shield!
Immediately after,
an extremely massive and extremely pure energy flowed continuously along the shield into Ryan's body!
"Mh..."
Ryan couldn't help but let out a comfortable muffled groan.
This feeling was too wonderful.
Not only was the magic power consumed just now instantly replenished, but that massive energy was also continuously washing and strengthening his flesh and blood.
It was just like a long-awaited rain after a severe drought, every cell in his whole body cheering and leaping.
"Awesome!"
Ryan's eyes lit up, and he shouted directly at Dormammuin the sky,
"Old monster! Did you not eat? Is this all the strength you have?"
"Increase the intensity! Continue! Never stop!"
Ryan even actively withdrew a portion of his magicdefense so that the shield could absorb it faster.
In the sky,
on Dormammu's huge face, a trace of an extremely humanized dumbfounded expression appeared.
This kid...
Is he sick?!
This dark death ray of mine can instantly corrode a Planet!
Not only do you not dodge, but you also have an expression of enjoyment asking me to continue shooting at you?
Could it be that current Earthlings have all evolved this kind of perverted masochistic tendency?
Dormammu had lived for so long, and it was his first time encountering such a bizarre opponent.
After a brief moment of dumbfoundedness,
it was replaced by endless anger.
Disgrace!
This was naked provocation and humiliation!
"Since you want to die so much, then I will grant your wish!"
"I will grind you into dust bit by bit!"
Dormammu completely fell into a frenzy.
His abyss giant mouth opened even wider, like a black hole.
Boom!
A black light pillar, twice as thick as the previous one and with an even deeper color, carrying terrifying energy sufficient to destroy the entire different space, poured down toward Ryan once again!
Chapter 110: Desperate Counterattack! Stun Dormammu!
Facing Dormammu's world-destroying black beam of light.
Ryan not only did not retreat, but instead withstood the immense pressure and stubbornly held up the Deified Shield of the Seraphim.
That extremely terrifying energy impact caused Ryan's legs to sink deeply into the rocks on the ground.
However, as the shield frantically devoured Dormammu's dark energy, the light in Ryan's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"Ding!"
"Your [Deified Shield of the Seraphim] has eaten its fill!"
"[Deified Shield of the Seraphim] feels full of power, and can't wait to spit out all the inventory in its belly!"
"[Deified Shield of the Seraphim] unlocks its exclusive counterattack skill: [Energy Discharge]!"
"When the energy absorbed by the shield reaches a critical point, all energy can be instantly rebounded to the enemy with several times the power!"
Hearing the system prompt in his mind.
Ryan grinned.
This skill is truly becoming more and more considerate.
It is most suitable for dealing with a power bank like Dormammu who only knows how to output brainlessly.
"Dormammu!"
Ryan suddenly let out a loud roar, his legs abruptly exerting force.
Boom!
He rose from the ground like a cannonball out of a chamber, heading straight up against that thick black beam of light!
"Take this—Crow Takes Flight!"
Ryan let out an extremely shameful eighth-grade syndrome roar in mid-air.
Following closely.
He fiercely pushed forward the shield in his hand that had already absorbed full energy and emitted a dazzling golden glow!
Hum——!
A golden beam of light, a circle thicker than Dormammu's attack, burst out from the shield!
This golden beam of light bizarrely turned into a huge golden fist in mid-air!
Carrying Dormammu's own dark energy as well as the pure divine power attached by Ryan, this fist directly tore through the black beam of light with an extremely domineering and unreasonable posture.
Then.
Solidly, it punched right into that huge face of Dormammuin the sky!
Bang!
Accompanied by a deafening dull sound.
Dormammu's giant face condensed from dark energy was actually sunken in directly by this punch! All five sense organs were distorted and deformed!
Silence.
Deathly silence.
Standing below, the Ancient One looked at that scene in the sky.
Her eyes, full of wisdom, were wide open at this moment, her mouth slightly agape, completely losing her usual dignity.
What did she see?
Ryan… actually punched Dormammu in the face?!
Also, what kind of ghost name is that move? Crow Takes Flight?!
What kind of mess is this!
However, no matter how bizarre the name was, the power was real! Dormammu was actually stunned by this punch!
In the sky.
Dormammu's distorted face slowly returned to its original shape after several seconds.
He was indeed stunned.
Ever since he became the lord of the Dark Dimension, it had been unknown how many tens of thousands of years.
When had he ever been slapped in the face so blatantly?!
Although this punch did not cause any substantial damage to his divine avatar.
However!
The insulting nature was extremely high!
Especially in front of his arch-rival of many years, the Ancient One!
Slapped in the face by a human punk whose name he couldn't even recall!
How could the high-and-mighty Dormammu save face!
"Mortal!!!"
"You are courting death!!!"
Dormammu let out a hysterical roar.
Following his roar, extremely dense dark energy suddenly erupted on his huge face. These energies were like sharp barbs, making his whole person look like a huge black sea urchin.
An aura ten times more terrifying than before descended upon the entire different dimension like substance.
Under this aura.
Even Ryan felt that the flow of magic power in his body became a bit sluggish.
"This old monster is getting serious. As expected of a dimension lord, this aura is indeed terrifying enough."
Ryan felt the surrounding pressure and silently evaluated it in his heart.
However, his mouth didn't yield at all.
"Mortal?"
"Dormammu, it's too late to butter me up now!"
"Today, you must get beaten!"
Ryan unceremoniously retorted.
"Courting death!"
Dormammu was so angry that smoke came out of his seven orifices, and even his voice became extremely terrifying.
He opened that abyssal giant mouth.
This time, there was no beam of light, but instead he spewed out an extremely dense mass of pure black fog that seemed to devour all light!
This black fog was extremely fast, instantly enveloping Ryan along with his Magic Shield.
"Can you change to some new tricks?"
Enveloped by the black fog, Ryan was still habitually taunting in his mouth.
However, his eyes became extremely solemn, and the magic power output in his body instantly rose to the extreme.
Dormammu this old fox, since he changed his move, it must be more dangerous than the beam of light just now.
Sure enough.
"Ding!"
"Your [Deified Shield of the Seraphim] has suffered erosion from the extremely pure dimensional dark power!"
"Warning! The dark power is trying to corrupt your shield!"
"If the corruption succeeds, your defense will be completely collapsed!"
Hearing the system's warning.
Ryan watched with his own eyes as the surface of his golden shield began to rapidly turn black. That nauseating dark aura was following the shield, trying to invade his body.
Standing below, the Ancient One saw this scene, and her expression changed drastically in an instant.
Snap!
The magic folding fan in her hand that had just been repaired and had accompanied her for hundreds of years was unconsciously crushed directly into two halves by her!
The Ancient One couldn't care about feeling distressed for the folding fan, and stared fixedly at Ryan enveloped by the black fog.
Dark Corrosion!
This was one of Dormammu's most vicious and terrifying moves!
As long as one was tainted by this dark power, like Kaecilius, the soul would be forcibly distorted and corrupted, and finally completely reduced to a slave of the Dark Dimension!
The Ancient One's hands instantly lit up with dazzling magic light, ready to rescue Ryan at all costs.
However.
Just the moment she was ready to make a move.
"Ding!"
"Your [Deified Shield of the Seraphim] has erupted with an extremely strong will of resistance!"
"[Deified Shield of the Seraphim] says: Want to blacken me? Not a chance!"
"Your shield successfully resisted the dark corrosion! And took this opportunity to complete the ultimate sublimation!"
In the Ancient One's unbelievable gaze.
The black shield in front of Ryan that had been half-infected suddenly burst out with golden light ten times more dazzling than before!
Wherever the golden light passed, those viscous dark energies were like the first snow encountering its nemesis, instantly dissipating without a trace!
Not only did the shield return to its original state, but the runes on it became more complex and more sacred!
"This..."
The Ancient One raised her hands, standing frozen in place.
She had prepared for the worst just now.
As a result, Ryan actually blocked Dormammu's most perverted ultimate move so casually?!
This was like an ordinary person resisting a nuclear bomb with their physical body, and then patting the dust off their body and saying "This firework is not bad".
This outrageous degree completely exceeded the cognitive limit of the Ancient One!
"This kid… what kind of monster is he!"
The Ancient One shouted silently in her heart.
She originally thought she had overestimated Ryan enough.
But now it seemed that this kid's potential was simply a bottomless black hole!
On the other side.
Seeing Ryan's shield turn black, Dormammu had already opened his big mouth wide, preparing to appreciate the birth of his new follower.
This was his proudest authority. As long as the corruption succeeded, Ryan's powerful soul and talent would all become the most delicious tonic for the Dark Dimension.
However.
The smile on his face had not fully bloomed yet when it completely froze.
That must-kill dark corrosion actually failed?!
"How is this possible?!"
"What kind of monster are you!"
In Dormammu's huge eyes, they were filled with shock and disbelief.
He had devoured so many Universes, and had never encountered a human who could head-on resist his dark corrosion!
"Monster? Are you introducing yourself?"
Ryan sneered, unmercifully counterattacking.
This Dormammu, it's one thing to look ugly, but why is he so lacking in vocabulary even when scolding people.
"No!"
After a brief shock, Dormammu's gaze looking at Ryan instantly became incomparably fanatical.
The more such a genius who could resist his power, once forcibly devoured, the greater the benefits it could bring to the Dark Dimension!
"You can't escape! Obediently merge into the darkness!"
Dormammu suddenly opened his abyssal giant mouth.
An extremely huge black vortex instantly formed in his mouth.
An irresistible terrifying suction force erupted from the vortex.
Ryan suddenly felt his body lighten; if he hadn't timely pinned himself tightly in mid-air with magic power, he probably would have been sucked into that black hole instantly.
Just at this critical juncture.
"Ding!"
"Your [Nebula Storm] (formerly Winds of Watoomb) senses the host is in crisis!"
"As your most considerate little padded jacket, [Nebula Storm] decides to step forward!"
"Triggered critical strike special effect! Your next attack's power is forcibly increased tenfold!"
Hearing the voice in his mind.
Ryan was overjoyed in his heart!
Sure enough, among this group of weird-tempered skills, wind-type magic is still the most considerate! It doesn't drop the ball at critical moments, and can also send a super gift package of ten times critical strike!
This time, Dormammu is in for a treat!
"Old monster, since you like sucking so much."
"Then I'll also send you a gift to nourish your body!"
"Take this—Tornado Destroys the Parking Lot!!!"
Ryan gave a loud shout, his right hand violently waving forward.
Boom!
A black hurricane that was already extremely terrifying, under the blessing of the ten-times critical strike, instantly expanded into a world-destroying storm connecting heaven and earth!
This violent hurricane, carrying the momentum of tearing everything apart, directly plunged into the abyssal giant mouth of Dormammu along with the suction force in his mouth.
Dormammu didn't even have time to react.
He felt as if an extremely violent blender had suddenly been stuffed into his giant mouth condensed from dark energy.
